Beschreibung
The collection consists of a total of Eight stories, each exploring the theme of the supernatural and the macabre. Included in this volume are eight of James's most classic ghost stories, including "Canon Alberic's Scrap-book", "Lost Hearts", "The Mezzotint", "The Ash-tree", "Number 13", "Count Magnus", "Oh, Whistle, and I'll Come to You, My Lad" and "The Treasure of Abbott Thomas".

Each story is crafted with an intelligent and subtle approach to horror. James's scholarly protagonists encounter uncanny and often malevolent entities linked to artifacts or locations steeped in history. The book is celebrated for its suspenseful narrative and for replacing the gothic settings typical of the genre with more everyday, contemporary environments.

Über den Autor
Montague Rhodes James (1 August 1862 - 12 June 1936) was an English author, medievalist scholar.

James's work as a medievalist and scholar is still highly regarded, but he is best remembered for his ghost stories, which some consider among the best in the genre. He redefined the ghost story for the new century by abandoning many of the formal Gothic clichés of his predecessors and using more realistic contemporary settings. However, his protagonists and plots tend to reflect his own antiquarian interests. Accordingly, he is known as the originator of the ""antiquarian ghost story"".
